I believe we all should take a pause and deeply reflect, everytime we see a course for Shamanism, coaching, healing and such that could be done in a few hours, just to be ready to go out and "assist people" from behind a printed certificate from a few hours course, because that just do not seem right, does it?

In today’s world, you can become a “certified healer,” “shaman,”"coach", or “priestess”, and so on, after a few hours online.

A weekend retreat (for those who can afford).
A few Zoom calls.
A printed certificate.

And suddenly, you are told you have “arrived.” Congratulations! Or?...

Or, to be honest, in truth, across all ancient traditions, soul work has never been something you could buy, rush, or brand. Ever.

Real spiritual work is not certified.
Why not? Because ~ It is lived.

What True Shamanic (and Healing) Initiation Looks Like

In traditional cultures like; Siberian, Amazonian, Mongolian, African, Indigenous North American, and such, becoming a shaman or healer was not a quick choice.

It Was A Call You Don’t Choose

You didn’t wake up and choose to become a shaman. It wasn’t like today ~ scrolling your phone in bed, seeing a “Become a Shaman” course, clicking buy now, and a few hours later, a certificate dings in your inbox.

In traditional cultures, you were called, often painfully, through illness, visions, or deep spiritual crisis.

You didn’t choose the path.
The path chose you.

It is a sacred breaking and it is painful.

It chooses you, not the other way around.

Years - Even Decades - of Apprenticeship

You undergo long apprenticeships with elders. You didn’t just learn tools, you became deeply transformed. Studying nature, plants, prayers, ceremonies. Enduring trials, sacrifice, tests of humility.

There were no shortcuts.

Moral and Ethical Transformation

Healing is not a technique. It is a becoming.

True healers must:

• Serve others, not ego.

• Live humbly and ethically.

• Hold pain without exploiting it.

Power without humility is dangerous, and a true initiation prevents this.

Yes, in traditional healing there are techniques, like herbal knowledge, ceremonies, energy work, plant medicines, rituals, prayers, but the techniques are only as powerful as the soul behind them. The person must become the vessel- humble, surrendered, compassionate. Without inner transformation, techniques are empty. In true healing traditions, who you are matters more than what you know.

A healer is not made by technique alone.
A healer is made by walking a path of humility, integrity, service, and deep soul maturity.

In other words:

Techniques support healing.

Becoming a healer is a lifelong unfolding - of character, wisdom, and spirit.

Service, Not Status

You don’t declare yourself a shaman.

The community recognizes it - after years of seeing you live the truth.

You are not a brand.
You are a servant of life.

Lifelong Learning

You never graduate.

A real healer remains a student forever ~ humbling themselves before life’s mystery every single day.

The ones who think they are "finished" are furthest from the path.

What True Druidic and Spiritual Guide Initiation Looked Like

It was the same among the Druids, mystics, and spiritual guides:

• 19–20 years of training.

• Deep moral discipline and mastery of ego.

• Sacred service to community and nature.

• Recognition by others, not self-proclaimed.

• Lifelong practice of humility and wisdom.

It was also a quiet, lifelong becoming. Not a title or a brand.

A Personal Reflection

Yes. I bought some courses too some years ago. Healing certifications, shamanic teachings, spiritual coach trainings. Some I finished, some I didn’t.

But deep inside, I always knew.. This is so fake, this just can not be real.
And also, It wasn’t my path to heal with my hands.

My calling was different - not to heal the body, but to heal something deeper:

To be a voice.
To guide us back to what matters.
To shine a quiet light on what we must remember.
But honestly, it is still unfolding, 50 years in the making.

Because realizing that we are chasing something not soul-driven, realizing that we have forgotten how to live aligned, that too needs healing.

My work is not to hand you a new rod to chase a shinier fish.

But for now, my work is to remind you:

It’s time to put down the rod.
It’s time to return to what is real.

Why This Matters

As traditional communities and wisdom-keepers were lost, quick-fixes rose. The ones we see since some years, now and they do not seem to become less, just more things are "invented".

• Secret portals.

• Starseed labels.

• 144,000 chosen ones.

• 5-hour healer certifications.

• Fast-tracked "ascension."

• Ascension Guides

• Readers of someone spiritual health

• and sooooooooooo on....

But, AGAIN, none of this replaces the real inner journey.

🌿 Healing and soul-guidance are not performances.
🌿 They are lifelong, soul-deep paths of service, humility, and love.

So, Why does the x-Hour Myth Persists

Well, because of the same reasons we play games on our phones, eat at fast-food stores, order things with next day delivery..:

• It’s easy.

• It’s fast.
  

And it promises status, power, and a sense of importance.
All without the pain, humility, and devotion that real healing requires.

Real soul work can’t be rushed or bought.

It grows in silence, in humility, and in slow, unseen becoming.

• It Can’t be completed in 5 hours.

• It Can’t be printed on a certificate.

• It Can’t be claimed, it is earned through lifelong service, humility, and love.

If your path is real, it will not be flashy. It will be slow, quiet, and sacred.

The Soul Truth

You cannot buy real healing.
You cannot fast-track soul maturity.
You cannot brand wisdom.

You don’t choose to be a healer.
You are chosen, by life, by spirit, by the soul’s deeper calling.

🌿 Real spiritual work is not certified.
🌿 It’s lived.

You Become by living it.

Quietly.

Steadily.

Humbly.

So...

If you feel called..

• Don’t rush.

• Don’t brand.

• Don’t seek titles.

Walk humbly.
Sit quietly.
Serve without applause.
Study as a lifelong apprentice to love, to life, to spirit.

The deepest power is not in being called a healer, a Druid, or a guide.
It is in quietly becoming one.
